books-coffee-1You don’t have to be all that “creative” to create a masterpiece of a “coastal” gift basket. You don’t even have to know the person you’re gifting all that well to put together a delightful assemblage of items they’ll really enjoy. Trust me on this!

Just start with a basket (well, duh!), and add a variety of things from the following list. When the basket is “full,” tie a bow on the top and voila!

Basic Ingredients:

  1. Jan Bono’s two new cozy mystery books, “Bottom Feeders” and “Starfish.” 2. Coffee mug with lighthouse or silly crab or some other coastal picture on it. 3. Coffee or tea.th

Optional Items:

Chocolate! (Not really optional, is it??) Saltwater taffy, cranberry scone mix, smoked 0ysters or salmon (and crackers!), wine (you can also substitute wine glass for coffee mug), starfish necklace or earrings, seashell candles or soaps, flip-flops for walking in the sand, etc, etc.

Special for blog readers, I’m providing free shipping on my mystery books combo… Just go to my JanBonoBooks Facebook page and message me to find out how to take advantage of this fabulous offer!
